All our poultry are shipped Express Mail through the US Post Office. The cost of
this form of shipping is much higher than Parcel Post, but has many advantages,
including rapid delivery anywhere in the US, less stress on the chicks, home delivery
in many locations and much more. We can only ship to addresses in the United
States. No APO/FPO, Post Office boxes, US Territories, Alaska or Hawaii.
Express
Mail charges differ according to zip code, but are usually much less
than $27.30 per box. This price includes insurance and shipping box. Most chicks
will be delivered within 24 hours (usually by noon the next day), often directly
to your home. Please check with your local post office to see if they have
the home delivery option in your area. Otherwise, you will have to pick your
chicks up at your local post office. All chick deliveries should be picked up
as quickly as possible to prevent/reduce losses due to stress, weather extremes
and dehydration. Please open the box at the post office or as soon as you receive
it and report any losses to your postmaster. They have a special form to file
for insurance purposes. All losses will be credited to your account and can
be applied to future purchases.
Shipping charges are not to be paid until
time to ship your chicks. You will receive an email, phone call or letter telling
you the expected date range for delivery and the amount you need to send for
shipping costs. Please send this amount to us as soon as possible to avoid cancellation
of your order.
We accept Certified cashier's checks, money orders
or PayPal for all payments.
